We are at last on the high lands of Mexico, the districts which at least three different races have chosen to settle in, neglecting the fertile country below.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I should say many things. Mexico has been one of the losers of the 20th century. We tried many different alternatives to development and unfortunately we have 40 percent of the population poor; we have a per capita income that is extremely low.
Mexico and the U.S. are bound not only because of the common border, but by a shared culture and history.
I believe the conditions are very favorable for Mexico to grow. I'm very optimistic.
Who today is willing to say that Texas and California and the remainder of the Southwest would be better off if they were governed by Mexico?
I grew up in a highly Hispanic neighborhood. It was very rare to find any race other than Mexicans. I feel very comfortable around Spanish speakers and people from Mexico and people who don't always feel comfortable living in the U.S. because they are in fear of being deported.
There are a great number of Mexicans who live every day worried about the lack of employment and opportunities. Those conditions also damage the image of Mexico abroad, and that is the Mexico that must be transformed.
I believe that Mexico, geographically, is located in a privileged position. We serve as the meeting point with North America and the rest of Latin America.
In the Mexico we want, there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.
In America today, we are nearer a final triumph over poverty than is any other land.
In Mexico, wealth and poverty live next to each other and are cordial with each other - in my experience.
